WASHINGTON, D.C. — Days before a pivotal Federal Communications Commission meeting on the future of Net Neutrality, MoveOn.org Political Action has started running a TV ad urging the FCC to heed President Obama’s call for an open Internet.

The FCC is scheduled to meet Thursday to consider a proposal from its chair, Tom Wheeler, that could undermine the foundational principle of Net Neutrality, which ensures that the Internet remains open and that content shouldn’t be privileged just because its backers can afford to put it into a special fast lane.

“An open Internet levels the playing field in our democracy. That’s why it’s alarming that FCC Chair Tom Wheeler has proposed rules that would break President Obama’s promise to uphold Net Neutrality — rules that could destroy the Internet as we know it,” said Victoria Kaplan, lead campaign director of MoveOn.org Political Action. “MoveOn members strongly support Net Neutrality and are calling on the FCC to scrap proposed rules that would undermine an open Internet.”

MoveOn’s ad, running this week via a five-figure buy in the D.C. market, warns that the proposal in front of the FCC could “change the rules and let Verizon and Comcast pick winners and losers online.”

Allowing big telecommunications companies to control the flow and speed of information online could create a two-tiered Internet, with a fast lane for wealthy corporations that can afford to pay for their content to move quickly, and a slow lane for everyone else, including small businesses, educators, artists, entrepreneurs, and ordinary Americans.

MoveOn’s new ad comes after more than 10,000 MoveOn members submitted stories and comments to the FCC last week demanding that the commission support Net Neutrality. In their testimonies, MoveOn members explained how they could be personally harmed in the absence of Net Neutrality.

http://front.moveon.org/socialsecuritytvad/#commentsWed, 11 Dec 2013 15:00:07 +0000http://front.moveon.org/?p=52915MoveOn members are doubling down on our campaign for an increase in Social Security benefits with a new TV ad that comes in response to Wall Street front group The Third Way’s recent attack on Social Security expansion.

In the new ad, MoveOn.org Political Action urges members of Congress to listen to their constituents, stop listening to corporate front groups like The Third Way, and expand Social Security benefits for retiring seniors. The ad notes that simply closing a loophole that lets billionaires pay a lower Social Security tax rate than most Americans is more than enough to fund increased benefits.

The ad frames the debate by focusing on the question of whether current Social Security benefits are enough for seniors to live on. It will air on MSNBC and CNN only in the Washington, D.C., market — targeting Capitol Hill — since numerous polls show that the broader public doesn’t need persuasion. Most Americans already strongly oppose Social Security cuts and support expansion.

In November, Public Policy Polling (PPP) released a set of polls, commissioned by MoveOn.org Political Action, that showed that voters in 10 key congressional districts and states overwhelmingly support increasing Social Security benefits and are inclined to punish any Democrat or Republican who votes to cut benefits. On average, 70 percent said they would be less likely to vote for a member of Congress who votes to cut benefits.
